Jane tells about, among others, her mother, who divorces Jane's father and takes up the violin, and her formerly promiscuous sister, who marries an Orthodox doctor and gives birth to a boy Jane jokingly calls "the Little Messiah."

Starting out as a congressional aide, Stephanopoulos became a deputy communications director for the 1988 Michael Dukakis campaign, where he banged out the political message of the day. After the Dukakis debacle, Stephanopoulos almost left politics for a key job helping run the New York City Public Library before Congressman Richard Gephardt, now House majority leader, offered him a top staff position.
